Melanie’s advice for you is, “Do not overthink it, keep it simple and always take on a small change every day.”

Melanie’s top three tips:

“Divide your day into eight 3 hour time blocks; if you ‘slip up’ with food or feel like you’ve had a down moment, enjoy it (if it’s food) or focus if its mind, make yourself accountable and own it, look up at the clock and reset at the next three hour point. No tomorrow or Monday resets, always today!

Use YOU as your main motivation, and only compare yourself to you. You can use others as motivation, but if you compare yourself to them, you’ll more than likely find that you will start to feel bad, causing negativity which effectively reduces productivity, but if you use it to cheer yourself on, the positivity ramps up and you’re even more willing to succeed than before!

Take the photos – they make the world of difference! It’s daunting but just do it.”

“Set achievable goals. I aim for 1.5 pounds per week, this lets you LIVE and means if you have a dinner out, you can still reach your goals.

Eat what you love! If you don’t like the look of something in the meal plan, think about what you do feel like & search the hub for a healthier version! If you’re excited about what you’re eating, you’re more likely to stay on track.

Make goal charts, motivation boards, write in a journal every day to show yourself what YOU want & what you CAN do. Keep it positive. Your attitude determines your direction, so BELIEVE in yourself.”

Going slowly will win the race. Show your kids and explain what changes are going to happen so everyone is mentally prepared for a change as this will help you stay on track and get them talking about it.

“Take each meal at a time, if you indulge don’t write the day off, have some water and make a better choice the next time you eat

She has gone from a size 20 to 8-10 and has maintained this weight for six months!

She started her journey when a photo made her realise how unhappy, unhealthy, overweight and anxious she was, she decided to do something about it. She didn’t want to be an unfun mum and wanted to be a good role model for her kids.

“I was also about to return to work full-time with three kids aged three and under, the idea of a meal plan to do the planning for me was so appealing.”

Sally wants to make 2019 the best year EVER!

“I will be the best I can be, increasing my fitness, make time for me, make healthy choices and live life,” she says.

Her advice for other mums considering making a change is anyone can do it! She urges you to not compare yourself to others as everyone’s journey and battles are different.

“When first starting – start small, learn about the importance of fuelling your body properly, of the value of water, of how moving your body every day has major health benefits. Make some time for you – mental health is so important!” she explains

Sally’s three tips to stay on track:

“Prep food/snacks to help keep you on track – it doesn’t have to be a bulk cook up, simple snacks or preparing your meat and veg for the week has major benefits during the chaos of the working week. When cooking dinner, make extra for next day lunch or some for the freezer.

Take photos – you may hate the way you look now, but progress shots really show how amazing you’re doing. Take these at the start of every 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge or every week, when you put them together after a month you’ll see all your hard work.

Take advantage of the amazing support group. Share your progress, ask questions, check out inspiration and ideas from other ladies, and be involved.”
